Great experience - We did the expedition to the VillaRica volcano (couple and 2 teenagers) It was one of the best outdoor experiences we've had. Rodrigo and his group of guides were super attentive and took care of the entire group. Rodrigo also gave a geography lesson to all of us. At the end we even had a surprise happy hour with beer and snacks. I highly recommend

Couple climb to Villarrica Volcano Jan/24 - It was an excellent tour. He is a very responsive guide. Your team is very good. He welcomed me and did the equipment test. During the climb, he continued at a pace consistent with the group's capacity.

Hard climbs give the best views - I found Turismo montañas del Sur via trip adviser. Rodrigo organised everything and kept me up to date with the weather etc. We met the night before to discuss the trip. They supplied the climbing gear , I just got food and water. Jorge was my guide on the day and was excellent. Getting me up the volcano , describing the scenery and views with regular breathers apart for four regular stops. I would happily advise anyone to use this organisation .

You must climb Villarrica with Rodrigo!!! - What a fantastic experience climbing Villarrica (Rucapillán) vulcano with Rodrigo! We were blessed with a perfect clear day and managed to be the first team going up. It was incredibly challenging going up almost 3000m on fresh snow...but so worth it! Rodrigo is a very knowledgeable and incredibly caring guide. He's there to support your experience above anything else. We'll never forget that day spent challenging nature and being gifted by Villarrica and Pucon. Thank you so much Rodrigo!

Villarrica was Amazing!!! - Climbing Vulcan Villarrica was one of the highlights of our adventures in Chile. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and got along with everyone. The experience of climbing the snowfields with provided crampons, ice ax, helmet, backpack, etc was outstanding. The guides were very helpful and it was quite the adventure "sledding" down on the provided small sled.

Great English - Volcano status of yellow meant we couldn’t hike up to the carter so I didn’t get to see any lava or the full height of the mountain (we did hike pretty high up though). The chest strap on the backpack I had was broken so that made carrying it more difficult. Also, because of the time of year (May) there was not enough snow to slide so we hiked down. Volcano status and time of year are just for reference as those are not related to the particular company you go with. I enjoyed hiking on the snow/ice close to the top. The guide took photos for me and spoke great english!

The tour company does not exist!! - The tour agency that was on the Viator website does not exist, is out of business. As the hike drew near, we were contacted by Viator to pay (which we did), and texted multiple times to the tour agency (through Viator) with questions, but never heard back. We arrived in town the night before the hike. On the day of the scheduled hike, we went to the designated meeting place—nothing/no one was there. We went to the address of the tour agency—found the building but it was obviously abandoned. Viator responded promptly to my text, said they would investigate. Got back to me within a day, and refunded me within a week. BUT they should do a better job of checking on the businesses that they represent.
